Chapter 106: Mo Shaoyun’s Loss of Composure
Mo Shaoyun realized he was making a fool of himself and quickly got up, his face as red as the autumn leaves on Xiangshan. At this moment, he wished he could find a hole to crawl into. How embarrassing, copying an exam and ending up falling.
Chen Tianlong intentionally feigned surprise and shot Mo Shaoyun a sympathetic look, which immediately riled him up.
But it was him trying to copy someone else’s exam, he couldn’t exactly say, "Damn, who told you to block my view with your body, making me lean over to peek and end up falling."
"What are you doing, Mo Shaoyun? Cheating, are you?"
Mo Bolun had no choice; Mo Shaoyun’s actions were just too obvious. If he didn’t say something, it would be too fake.
"Teacher, I’m sorry, I didn’t sleep well last night, so I was dozing off while answering the paper earlier, and... hehe."
Mo Shaoyun put on a bitter smile. He had no choice; in this situation, he had to play dumb, or else if people accused him of cheating, he’d be finished.
"Alright, hurry back to your seat. You have five minutes left; check your paper. It’s almost time to hand it in."
As soon as Mo Bolun finished speaking, everyone suddenly remembered they were still in an exam. The classroom instantly quieted down, and the sound of scratching pens resumed.
Chen Tianlong chuckled to himself, then erased his previous answers in the multiple-choice section and changed them all. He put the paper at the front, essentially done.
"Ding ding ding..."
The bell signaling the end of the exam rang, and everyone filed out of the classroom, leaving only Hao Jian, Mo Shaoyun, and Chen Tianlong.
"You did it on purpose earlier, didn’t you?" Mo Shaoyun asked Chen Tianlong angrily.
"What on purpose? You mean..."
"Hmph, stop pretending, I’ve noted this debt down."
Mo Shaoyun fired off a harsh remark and walked out.
Chen Tianlong didn’t mind at all. He’d heard this kind of talk plenty of times; it was just talk. If Mo Shaoyun really had the guts to take him on, he’d have done it by now. Why wait?
After leaving the classroom, Chen Tianlong saw a slender figure waiting outside.
"Chen Tianlong, how did you do on the test? I remember I marked over half the important points for you. If you still couldn’t do it, then get ready to suffer." Lin Wushuang pouted as she asked.
"Ah-ha, of course, I got it! Perhaps I did even better than you. Don’t blame me if I steal your spotlight as class president—I won’t be responsible." Chen Tianlong grinned mischievously.
"Eh... there’s no way you outscored me." Lin Wushuang crossed her arms, making a playful huffing face.
"Haha, anything is possible. If I do outscore you, how will you repay me?" Chen Tianlong seized the opportunity, seeing if he could take advantage of the young lady a bit.
"If you outscore me, I’ll let you do whatever you want; name your conditions." Lin Wushuang didn’t mind. She thought it was impossible for Chen Tianlong to outdo her.
"You said it, whatever I want?"
Chen Tianlong ogled Lin Wushuang’s impressive figure with a wicked grin, looking as sleazy as possible.
Lin Wushuang paused, instantly understanding Chen Tianlong’s words. Seeing his mischievous expression made her blush.
However, after some thought, she wondered why she should be scared. Chen Tianlong always teased people, but he never dared. Otherwise, he would have done something back when he was treating her illness, not wait until now.
"Yes, do whatever you want. If you dare, I’ll play along."
Lin Wushuang pursed her lips defiantly, leaving Chen Tianlong laughing bitterly.
This girl’s mind is really hard to fathom. He was just trying to tease her a bit, but she wasn’t afraid at all.
But on reflection, Lin Wushuang probably thought there was no way he’d beat her, which was why she was so bold.
"Alright, it’s a deal."
What Chen Tianlong had in mind wasn’t actually that kind of thing; he was just taking the chance to tease this girl a bit. After all, their relationship needed some development.
"Alright, I need to go back to the dorm and study. There’s another exam in the afternoon. Bye-bye!"
Lin Wushuang didn’t delay any further, quickly saying goodbye to Chen Tianlong before heading to her dorm.
Chen Tianlong sighed. With three subjects left, he had no choice but to cram in the dorm.
He had tasks promised to both Shen Yan and Lin Wushuang, which had to be completed, or he’d be degrading himself in their eyes.
In the following days, those who continued to cheat, cheated; those who relied on their abilities, relied on their abilities. And those blessed with natural talent—perhaps Chen Tianlong was the only one.
No matter how Lin Wushuang wrote, it couldn’t escape Chen Tianlong’s sharp eyes. By compiling the answers of the top students in the class and explaining his own unique problem-solving strategies, Chen Tianlong managed to score even higher.
Mo Bolun invigilated several times in Chen Tianlong’s exam room, but strangely, never caught Chen Tianlong cheating, not even a peek, leaving him really puzzled.
After finishing the last exam, the preliminary grading of previous test papers was mostly done.
Shen Yan could hardly believe her eyes. Was this really Chen Tianlong’s paper?
He actually... scored first in his class in Literature. This... was too surprising.
After the monthly exams, it happened to be Friday afternoon. As soon as Chen Tianlong got back to his dorm, he planned to take a shower and then ask Wu Mengting out to hang out.
After all, this girl had been stifled these past two weeks, doing nothing but reading. If he didn’t take her out to relax, she’d get too bored.
Since Chen Tianlong had already told others he wanted to pursue Wu Mengting, he couldn’t just talk the talk. Otherwise, people would think he was just messing around.
"Boss, are you free tonight?"
Zhao Lei suddenly sat up from bed like the living dead, giving Chen Tianlong quite a scare.
"Leizi, what are you doing? Can’t we talk normally?"
Chen Tianlong was speechless. He had just come out of the bathroom and saw Zhao Lei suddenly sit up from the bed, and his voice rose and fell with his movements, giving off a ghostly vibe.
"It’s like this. I’ve, uh, gotten a girlfriend these past few days. Tonight, I’m going out with her... to sing karaoke at KTV." Zhao Lei blushed as he mentioned it.
"Oh wow, what’s the situation, Leizi? Can’t you stay focused? Weren’t you chasing that first-year class flower a while back? So, now you have a new flame?"
Yang Fan, intrigued by such a topic, couldn’t continue sleeping, popped right up, and joined the discussion.
"Go, go, go. She’s a major campus beauty, and I’m the campus joker. How could I possibly catch up with her? I’ve thought it through these days: it’s fine as long as I find someone suitable for me; she doesn’t have to be so pretty." Zhao Lei said nonchalantly.
"I agree with that sentiment."
Chen Tianlong also nodded. Honestly, if someone is a true beauty, they indeed seem quite noble. If a girl is both pretty and smart, once she gets into college, she might very well say goodbye to you.
